Omaha Beach Private Tour in Normandy
Discover the American D-Day Sector
Omaha Beach is one of the most important locations associated with the Normandy landings of June 6, 1944.
A private excursion allows you to discover Omaha Beach together with several major American D-Day sites while travelling comfortably through Normandy.
Normandy Private Driver provides private transportation to the D-Day beaches from Bayeux, Caen and other locations in Normandy.
Omaha Beach
Your visit can include several locations along Omaha Beach and time to understand the geography of the landing area.
The coast, bluffs and surrounding villages provide important context for visitors discovering the American sector.
Normandy American Cemetery
Located above Omaha Beach at Colleville-sur-Mer, the Normandy American Cemetery is one of the most significant places visited during an American D-Day itinerary.
Time can be included to respectfully explore the cemetery and memorial.
Pointe du Hoc
Pointe du Hoc can also be incorporated into the itinerary.
The dramatic cliff-top position between Omaha and Utah provides another perspective on the scale of the D-Day operations.
Utah Beach and Sainte-Mère-Église
For a longer American-sector itinerary, the tour can continue toward Utah Beach and Sainte-Mère-Église.
A typical private American D-Day day can therefore include:
- Sainte-Mère-Église
- Utah Beach
- Pointe du Hoc
- Omaha Beach
- Normandy American Cemetery
The exact itinerary depends on your departure point and available time.
Private D-Day Tour from Bayeux
Bayeux is ideally located for visiting the D-Day landing beaches.
